LTx aftermarket pan fitment w/thirdgen long tubes?

LT1 + Hooker 2210 LTs + Aftermarket pan

Car won't be on slicks, has Nitto NT05 rubber on it, but might one day have R Compound tires on it, def not this year though I'm too poor from all this other stuff. Any one know of any issues with the fitment of aftermarket pans for road racing, or if Oil Control is even an issue with the stock B-body pan?

I did some google searches, along with searching here but nothing definitive popped up in the searches. If I don't need an aftermarket pan then thats great stock one works for me. I just figure its better to ask than not and find out later when the engine is knocking from being starved.

Car is intended for street/HPDE/Auto-X, very little drag but I would like to do stuff at Gingerman, RA, Blackhawk farms and not worry about possibly destroying my engine from a lengthy side load. RA's Carousel could possibly be a killer at speed as its a fairly constant G-load that lasts many seconds.

That is good to hear. Still wish there was more information on whether or not the stock LT1 pan is good enough, would be nice to avoid buying one if not necessary.

stock pan will be fine I got this one becaue I was runnign a 383 lt4 with a high volume high pressure pump and with the stock motor and pan I spun a rod bearing going very fast high rpm down winding roads when I was about a quart low

Not needed but definately nice to have
